Dear Eagle Families and Community,
I am excited and proud to be starting another school year with the J.H. Gunn Eagles. We have an amazing year ahead of us as we build stronger relationships, strengthen academics and create an environment where everyone feels valued and empowered to succeed.
J.H.Gunn is an incredible place! After a century of dedication, our unique school stands as a testament to a hundred years (yes, 100 years) of nurturing excellence, community spirit, and a commitment to shaping future generations. I feel incredibly fortunate to be part of a school where every day is an opportunity to witness the remarkable growth, creativity, and dedication of our students and staff.
This school year we continue to provide students with unique opportunities that inspire curiosity, foster innovation, and prepare them for a future filled with limitless possibilities. These include the Digi-bridge Steam program, soccer club, chess club, book clubs and we are very excited to introduce the Ron Clark House System! The Ron Clark Academy House System is a dynamic, exciting, and proven way to create a positive climate and culture for students and staff. Using RCA's methods we will confidently implement processes that build character, relationships, and school spirit. All of our students and staff will be part of a House... And we hope our parents will join in the fun as well!
As we begin a new year, I wanted to thank you for entrusting me with the privilege of guiding and nurturing your students! As a parent of a °ÅÀÖ¶ÌÊÓƵelementary student, I understand the importance of trusting the commitment of our educators and ensuring their growth and success. Here's to an AmAzInG year!
As always, please feel free to reach out, anytime! My door is always open!
Dana Pecarro
Proud J.H. Gunn Principal
